Information for PostgreSQL developers. This is
intended for those who are contributing to the PostgreSQL project; application
development information appears in the Programmer's Guide.

In addition to this manual set, there are other resources to
help you with PostgreSQL
installation and use:

man pages

The Reference Manual's pages in
the traditional Unix man format.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) lists document both
general issues and some platform-specific issues.

READMEs

README files are available for some contributed
packages.

Web Site

The PostgreSQL web
site carries details on the latest release, upcoming
features, and other information to make your work or play
with PostgreSQL more
productive.

Mailing Lists

The mailing lists are a good place to have your
questions answered, to share experiences with other users,
and to contact the developers. Consult the User's Lounge section of the PostgreSQL web site for details.

Yourself!

PostgreSQL is an
open-source effort. As such, it depends on the user
community for ongoing support. As you begin to use
PostgreSQL, you will rely
on others for help, either through the documentation or
through the mailing lists. Consider contributing your
knowledge back. If you learn something which is not in the
documentation, write it up and contribute it. If you add
features to the code, contribute them.

Even those without a lot of experience can provide
corrections and minor changes in the documentation, and
that is a good way to start. The <pgsql-docs@postgresql.org>
mailing list is the place to get going.
